With the trade deadline looming and the Reds being rumored to be in the mix for making some deals, I’ve been thinking about what I’d like to see them do. Not so much as to which players are dealt and which ones are coming back, but more so, what is the plan and intent behind the deals that they might make. My hope is that the Reds are able to complete some deals that will exhibit to their fan base that they have finally made some of the tough player personnel decisions that are needed to sort out the talent on hand, strengthen areas of need, and clear space for top level prospects to contribute.
